How to make Listary work with MC in single instance mode?

Menu > Configuration > Explorer Panel > (DisplayTab)

Almost at the bottom there is a "Default settings for new tabs"
There you check a settings if new tabs should show the folder tree by default.

Thanks again Mathias, just what I was looking for.

MC takes a little getting more getting used to compared with some others, but it's worth it. For example, I expected that when the R pane has focus, using Listary to select a folder would open it in the R pane. But no, it's always the L pane that changes. I can work around this by moving the current L tab to the R pane, then activating Listary. There isn't a default keyboard hotkey for doing this (compared with Ctrl+U for swapping panes), but (for the benefit of other newbies) no matter, its easy enough to create a custom hotkey in Configuration > Keyboard Customization.

If there's a way to make the currently active pane the focus for Listary, rather than always the L pane, that would be easier and more intuitive.

Jungle:
There is an option Set focus at startup to located in Core Settings > Application Layout > Panel Tab. But it seems to be respected only at new MC instance startup.

So i have 3 suggestions:
1. If /OPEN key was passed, Set focus at startup to should be respected
2. If only single instance allowed, -R and -L parameters should be allowed. Now nothing opens in that case
3. Allow multiple -R and -L parameters or multiple separated paths. Now only last is used.
